tonian Is a Messenger horse, and Messen-
ger is the great fountain source of trot-
ting, therefore Harris Hambletonian,
which Mr.. w. calls one of the best must
contribute his part, and we have.
Under Abdallah (Alexander's) Maj.
Edsall, b. h., dam by Harris Hambleton
ian, not a particle of truth to it. The
breeding of this mare is unknown. In
other words it's a lie, a falsehood given
with intent to deceive.
eve notice right above this Maj. Edsall
Goldsmith Maid b. m. dam, Old Alb by
Abdallah and Mr.. Parlin suggests that
she must have had sire and as no other
one had ever been named, this was prob
ably correct. Well we kno,c that it is not
correct, and suppose we know she was by
Long Island Black Hawk, but are wait
ing to verify the information. How
about the sold Alb" now? An honest
attempt to manufacture a pedigree out of
nothing but letters, but it will look sick
when you come to fill it out Old Alb
by Black Hawk.)
We have next Abe Lincoln son of Col
umbus; dam by Harris Hambletonian.
This horse was bred by Mr.. Noble of
Tinmouth, and this pedigree coming from
him is no doubt correct.
Benson Horse, son of Crawford Horse !;
dam by Harris Hambletonian, sire of
Lew Pettee b. g., 2 :29. Dam of Tom B.
Patchen, 2 Pa.
There was Benson Horse of Vermont
whose dam was said to be by Harris
Hambletonian. He did not sire Lew
Pettee nor the dam of Tom B. Patchen.
The Benson Horse that got Lew Pettee
was bred and owned in Maine. Thomp-
son says in his ''Noted Maine Horses
that his dam was by the Burns Horse,
son of the Avery Horse, and we presume
that is correct.
Then comes Young Columbus
(Smith's) dam Black Maria by Harris
Hambletonian. Whatever horse got this
noted mare, Black Maria it is very GER
tain that Harris Hambletonian did not
get her. She was bred by VIM.
Wainwright of Salisbury, VT, foal-
ed 1884 or o. Her dam was an excellent
and fast roam mare about 15-2, well
made and somewhat blocky, foaled 1926
or Z; also bred by VIM. Wainwright,
Salisbury, Vt. Her grandam was the
Dart mare, low down, blocky iron gray
| nh ha act Ell Of no
mountains in Vermont to Salisbury by a
Mr.. Dart, 1922, called Morgan, and sold
by him to VIM. Wainwright 1924 or 8.
We have got recently some more very
important informations about these
mares, which in due time will be publish
ed. This makes one true and three false
pedigrees thus far.
Under Young Columbus occurs Sea
Foam or. IN. dam by Harris Hambleton-
ian which we have already referred to
maxim n false to one true.
Guy j., son of Hambletonian, dam
Grey Rose by Harris Hambletonian.
Under Grey Rose, vol. 3 of Wallace's
Register, we have Grey Rose foaled
1876; got bv Harris Hambletonan, dam
not traced. Bred near Hinesburgh, VT.
and purchased by w. NJ Byington, from
Mr.. Ferguson. Five false to one true.
Then under Ethan Allen, Hotspur, dan
by True John, son of Harris Hambleton.
tonian; perfectly false as we mentioned
two weeks since. We know breeders of
this dam and every transfer from birth tC
death. She was by Green Mountain Nor
gan and her dam Morgan mare s. t. b
Six false to one true.
Next Ethan Allen, Jr., (Vick's) sor
of Ethan >llen dam by HHrris' Handle
tonlan. Nothing known about it. Sever
false to one true.
Under Harris Hambetonian we have
Green Mountain Maid Sontag, Lady
Shannon, Hero PAGER. Sire, Paris Ham
bletonian. Dam of Annie G.. :2s JOIN
Stewart, 80; Maj. Edsall, 2:29; Nelly
Holcomb, 2 rs; Panic, 2:2S; Sea Foam
2:24t. OF these, three are true, Greer
Mountain Maid and Sontag, and the sire
Paris Hambletonian; the others false al
to record, though possibly Hero and Mel
J ly Holcomb are true in fact. Nothing
whatever is known of the dam of Ami,
G.
Annie Laurie, the dam of Annie g., il
J recorded in Wallace, vol. 2, as CHI. mare
foaled 1917; got by Harris' Hambletoni
an; dam not traced. Driven on the roa(
many years by James Irving, New York
, sold to Fred Lawrence, of whom she wa
purchased by her present owner, H
Durkee, n. Y. Fifteen false to fou
true. This is fair sample of Mr.. Wal
: lace's work. Nearly four false. pedi
grees to one true. We shall have coca
, sion hereafter to take other horses an,

, lean breeders will not stand this thing
great while longer. Stupid falsehood
